My first experience with a Bärenreiter edition was purchasing my beautiful deep red scores of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro. I was struck by the clarity and proportion of the orchestral part, but also the spacious recitativo sections where I could write my notes and reminders for when I play the fortepiano. Each time I come back to this score I am a happy man; though I am sure Mozart and Da Ponte have much to do with this, the scores themselves are my faithful partners.

The Passions of Bach and his h-moll-Messe have become part of my Bärenreiter family too, both in orchestral and piano scores. These precious editions are for all time.

Many thanks Bärenreiter!
